i should work on adding the particle effect for the boundary, that will help debug this

if you consider use case of 20x20 building on 20x20 plot where you want to adjust it from outside, it would make sense to have full flight at tool range/block placement range from the boundary, i.e. 4 blocks.

and then either have some extra margin, where there is no flight, but will limit your fall speed, so you won't die, if you accidentally leave the area.

or make it similar to crane item that grants temporary flight in similar manner - it does not allow you to leave the boundary while it is active

there's no way to tell whether the player has flight enabled on their client, so they'd end up stuck inside their protection area for 72 in-game hours.

the crane solves that by having a button - toggling on enables flight and restricts movement to area, toggling off disables flight and removes boundary restriction

sure. it's a very different mechanic. we discussed the crane when designing builders' flight, and opted to do it differently.

i implemented the boundary particles, and verified that players can't fly more than 5 nodes from the edge of their protection area.
